The financial aspects of divorce include child support, spousal support (often called alimony or spousal maintenance), and property and debt division. Decisions about these aspects of your divorce can be complicated and have long-lasting implications. It is therefore often smart to seek the counsel and representation of an experienced family law attorney to help you through the process and ensure an outcome that meets your needs not only now, but in the future as well. In order to do the best possible job on your behalf, your attorney needs your input and cooperation. You should be prepared to provide him or her with the following information:
